Looking to buy A1200 accelerator/memory expansion.
« on: July 17, 2009, 02:45:12 PM »
I am still learning about the Amiga 1200 but I would like to upgrade it with more memory and a faster CPU.  I know there are many apollo accelerators out there but I don't really know enough to have any particular preference.  I am just looking for somthing to bring it up to at least 68030 with 8> megabytes of memory.  Does anybody have somthing like this to sell?  If yes, how much?  Thanks.

The 1200 is a great choice for WHDload, there are a few good AGA games that won't run on a 2000.  030 cards are up on eBay pretty often and won't break the bank, if you don't find anything here.

Might have a PPC 240mhz 603e 040 25mhz with scsi for sale if your interested?

It's been boxed up in my wardrobe for a few years since I took it out of my A1200 so I have no idea if it works, so I guess its sold as seen.

I admit that I am little weary about buying untested items, but out of curiosity, how much were you asking for it?

Put it back in your A1200 and test it for the guy.  He is obviously a "Newbie" and won't know how to troubleshoot it if it does not fire up on first try.

Just a suggestion, ignore it if you want.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Dont have my A1200 anymore :( Took all the bits out of it and gave it away at a car boot sale many years ago.. Think I also have a blizzard vision graphics card hanging around somewhere.

As for what its worth, I have no idea.. As I can't test it anymore I guess I can't say it works for definate..

Any users in the Huddersfield area want to borrow it and try it out?
